ummm fail?

Im purty sure that there right thur is a str8t line...

If she was out catching real criminals she wouldn't have wrecked her car trying to chase somebody who I as a tax payer couldn't give a fly fucking about.

Sadly, if she had hit another vehicle and hurt someone, the cop haters on this site would still be blaming the officer and not the motorcyclist.

What if that bike was on the highway that you used to get to work everyday, and he crashed backing up traffic for hours, would you care then?

What if your house was on the highway that he was using as a personal racetrack?

What if you were pulling out of your driveway and some douche canoe doing 130 came through your passenger door and landed on your lap?


You aren't the only one who pays taxes.

Dude, the bike was going 74 mph in a 55. Hardly a big problem. Certainly not worth the risk and expense of crashing an expensive police car. Bonehead move by the "professional" who was supposed to enhancing public safety...

Not just cop haters, but also sensible people.

Heck yeah the officer would be blamed and rightfully so. You ever heard the saying 'two wrongs don't make a right'? The motorcyclist that was going over the speed limit (and really not that fast for that road), does not grant immunity to others for bad judgement and actions.

Judging by your 'tone of typing', (yes, I am assuming here), the next time you find yourself going over the speed limit, you being a good law abiding person should actually turn yourself in to authorities. It would probably make you feel better.

Cops can provide a useful service in some cases. In this case, they failed and helped to make a very benign problem far worse.

Sorry, but the saying "two wrongs don't make a right" is juvenile and doesn't really apply to people who break the law. Police have to exceed the speed limit to catch people who are speeding. They also have to shoot at people with real guns when they are being fired on or the public is in danger and sometimes *gasp* they actually kill the bad guys.

The motorcyclists was doing 19 over, so what is the threshold? 25 over? 30 over? Again, it doesn't matter what you think, it's the law and the police officer was doing the job that your tax dollars pay her to do by enforcing it. If you don't like the law, you do your duty as a citizen to change it. How many elected officials have you written about it? How many groups have you organized? How much time away from pnwriders.com have you spent doing something that actually mattered?

Well, my "tone" can be interpreted any way that you want. I rarely speed anymore, especially not 20 over. The last time I got a ticket, I didn't whine like a bitch about being treated unfairly and cry about cops needing to catch real criminals. I paid the fine and went on with life.

Their job is to enforce laws that are voted on by publicly elected officials. Quit whining like little girls about a small accident that occurred while doing so.



19 over wasn't the "big problem", it was the felony eluding. Since 19 over isn't a big issue, I am sure that if you have kids, you won't mind people doing 19 over through the school zone?

You know, there seems to be a crappy double standard here. I don't think cops signed up for the job to catch speeders, but to catch criminals. On the other hand you do what your boss says. They need more revenue so tickets it is.

Yes, let's see it. after all, pigs never screw around, and are always "doing their job."

the pig should be punished and demoted for being stupid enough to think she could keep up with a bike - like give her a receptionist position at best. furthermore, the cost of the 'cruiser should come out of her pocket, rather than the tax payers'.

if i would have seen her crash, i'd be tempted to stop and laugh.

screw the 5-0.

Grow up, take some responsibility for your actions...

crown vics really aren't made to go 120 imo...even w/ good tires/suspension - too heavy, bad aeros and unwieldy at that speed.

they really should outlaw chasing speeders beyond 80mph or so - she could have killed herself or someone else - all just to give someone a speeding/eluding ticket.

Not anti-cop, and glad she's ok, but cops sure do put the public at a lot of risk in the name of safety.

Silly reporter, they forgot the all-important key words they use for us.

Nice. You must be the one they were after. Be a real shame if you bleed out somewhere waiting on a cop.

And, the motorcyclist could have also injured someone else or himself. Sorry, but speeding is speeding (whether or not you agree with the law) and then he ran on top of that. Pretty sure that would qualify for felony evasion. The accident may have been caused by her inability to control the vehicle, but she wouldn't have been going as fast if she wasn't chasing a motorcyclist that was eluding. How do you know that she didn't call ahead? You are making assumptions about a situation that you know nothing about.

Sorry, but chasing down criminals is what police do, get over it. You guys are acting like she got a medal for wrecking the car or something. The "I hate pigs" routine is getting pretty old on this site. Grow up, take some responsibility for your actions and stop blaming the people who enforce the laws that you are breaking. Sadly, if she had hit another vehicle and hurt someone, the cop haters on this site would still be blaming the officer and not the motorcyclist.

Your grasping at a lot of straws and stretching them to try and make a point and I'm not going to take the time to spell them all out.

Why's the ego so butt-hurt over a little fun by posters with a revenuer that made a bad move?

G'day mate, keep the rubber side down.

Same could be said for the driver who crashed the car. I don't care who the driver is. I have no hatred for law enforcement. No one made her drive beyond her ability, and no one made her lose control of her vehicle. A single vehicle accident is the fault of but one person, regardless of what the vehicle is, or who is driving it. The motorcyclist is not responsible for her actions.

Props (but I can't give them to you again). I'd be willing to bet that she was on the radio right away. The problem is that there are not that many troopers in the area. Help was likely multiple minutes away.
